I hate to be this kind of guy but:
1. Controversial.
2. 18+ Topic.
4. The site probably has good reasons, they just rather not explain, people may just get mad. ( Even though it would be really cool if they wrote down all things that they won't make a stamp of. )
Also eh.. Favourite food is something that makes sense to me as a stamp..
It's not an 18+ topic, teens explore their identities too. On CS it's also not considered 'controversial' as Tess and the staff are LGBT+ friendly. The only reason why we don't have these stamps is because there are so many identities and flags that they fear some people might feel left out or that there will be disagreements on how stuff is called. Like the community itself can't even agree on what letters to include in LGBT+. When they denied the request it was for these reasons alone. I don't think the Chickensmoothie staff want to take an official stance on what identities to include and what terminology and flags to use, hence why most people use the unofficial little pride buttons in their signature.
I'd do wish a quote on why this suggestion was denied would be put on the front page. Chickensmoothie
is LGBT+ friendly they just don't want to offend or exclude anyone. You can't be offended if your favourite food isn't mentioned, but you might feel offended if your identity is excluded. This is also probably why we've had MBTI and zodiac stamps for so long they are clearly defined and there's a limited amount of them. You suggest a rainbow stamp but that could be seen as implying same gender attraction only. Bisexuals, asexuals and heterosexual trans people might feel excluded. You see what I mean? Every little pride thing when made official can be disputed. CS had trouble enough releasing a litter of country themed horses.
...personally I'd like a second colour for the MBTI stamps, some of them like INFP, ENTP and ISFP are extremely bright and hard to incorporate in stamp collections.
It's one of the more popular systems out there, and we already have zodiac signs so why not haha?
